00:00Johor Menteri Basah On Hafiz Ghazi is a safe bet to lead Barisan National into the upcoming
00:06state election, thanks to his steady performance in office and an absence of major controversies,
00:11a political analyst said.
00:13University Science Malaysia's Azim Fazwan Farouk said BN will likely bank on On Hafiz's
00:18track record to persuade voters that retaining him as Menteri Basah would benefit Johor economically.
00:24He told FMT that overall On Hafiz had done a decent job running Johor,
00:29adding that the incumbent had a good pedigree as the great-grandson of UMNO founder On Jaffa,
00:34who was also a former Menteri Basah.
00:36In March, On Hafiz pointed to Johor's RM110 billion in approved investments for 2025
00:42as evidence of the state's economic progress, adding that the projects were expected to generate
00:4724,584 jobs for its people.
00:51He said the state's success was reflected in its transformation into an increasingly mature
00:56and competitive economic structure, driven in part by the development of the Johor-Singapore
01:01Special Economic Zone.
01:03On June 2, BN Chairman Ahmad Zayed Hamidi confirmed that On Hafiz would lead Johor-BN into the state
01:10polls, adding that the coalition aims to surpass its 2022 hall of 40 out of 56 state assembly seats.
